Goes without saying that this thread is inspired by today's Secret #1. Heh.

Always been fond of Nightcrawler and seeing all the different visual interpretations of him over the years. Just a great design that artists can have a lot of fun with.

I fell in love with Rogue and Gambit (as a pair and as individuals) as a teen and while I'm not really into XMen anymore that fondness for them still holds.

Jean Gray or Magneto. Not sure which. Both are awesome.

Rogue and Nightcrawler! Plus Storm.
And Gambit.
And Beast.
And Kitty.
Oh, and Wolverine even though everyone else only like the movie version (I prefer the comics version over the cartoon though).
And this one is kinda off topic and kinda not: the original X-23 from NYX and her early X-Men appearances. She is the first character I have ever related to instead of wanting to emulate.

Omg how did I forget X-23?! I loved her comics written by Majorie Liu way back and was so upset when the series had been cancelled. I know they brought her back ages ago, but I wanted to see where the original story was building up to and see her with Gambit, Wolverine and Jubilee.
I'm going to have to see where I had stored those comics now to had a re-read.

Everything felt so raw in a way comics never had before, not for me at least. She was such a messed up kid with so much potential but so much trauma, I wish we’d been able to see how that story would play out. I hope you find them and enjoy revisiting!

Marjorie Liu was in X-Men fandom - she ran a Wolverine/Rogue fansite after the first movie back in 2000, so it was great to see her get to write X-Men comics.

My familiarity with with the X-Men comes almost entirely from watching the cartoon a bit when I was like nine, so my favorite was Jubilee because I thought her name was awesome.

Nightcrawler became my fave with X-Men Evolution and I've enjoyed every version of him since, continuing my tendency to enjoy the least human-looking character in any given cast.

My time has come. X-men Evolution was my first online fandom ever back in my fan forums days and it had lead me onto the first two movies - then onto the comics that I use to read religiously until around 2016-ish, but still always had a special place in my heart.

Nightcrawler was my favorite; mostly because of X-Men Evo tbh, where he had a bigger role on that show compared to every other adaption. Looking back, as a 13 year old kid I had a lot of body issues between 'being too ugly' and never fitting into whatever the hell being a girl was suppose to be (which lead to being bullied to shit for 5 years at an all girls school -fun); so Nightcrawler showing that insecurity in his appearance on the show felt very relatable to me.
Then when I got into the comics and found out more versions of his character - the fact that he was catholic without being 'religion is my personality' or 'God hates all gays' about it felt safe for me as a kid being raised in that faith but having no place in it on account of how I was going to burn in hell anyways (I'm ex-catholic now, but in a weird way it was a comfort while going in the process of letting go at that time). Especially stories where Kurt was accused of being a demon and being so hated for things beyond his control, just felt very relatable to me - while at the same time I loved the other aspect of his personality as a friend to the other X-men and his own sense of humor/adventure. Plus his design was really cool too.

Also he's to blame for being the first character that got me into multi-shipping, because I had wanted to read all the Nightcrawler fics no matter who he was shipped with (but my OTPs were definitely Todd/Kurt for X-Men Evo and Logan/Kurt for the comics - in fact I have the legendary butt-naked Nightcrawler standing in front of Wolverine comic cover as one of my lockscreens on my phone lol).

I could honestly go on forever with a list of other favorites like Wolverine, Storm, Rogue, Mystique, Shadowcat, Beast and Magneto - but Nightcrawler is definitely the top favorite :'D

A couple incarnations of Toad were honestly genuinely hot. Todd Tolansky, one of my earliest fictional crushes, was voiced by Noel Fisher who I would unwittingly fall for multiple times over the next two decades with various other roles of his even when not knowing they were all in fact Noel Fisher.

Rogue and Nightcrawler. Also Storm.

Storm! She wasn't my favourite in the animated series (though I did love her over-dramatic presence) but I loved her in the comics and still do. Also have a great fondness for Professor X/Magneto long before the movies cemented that as a popular (and well-deservedly so!) ship!

Rogue has always been my favorite in all her variations.
